User talk:Jd~enwiki

''Look, this is my account. Go get yourself another.'' Seriously.

Disappointed to be blocked
It appears that the old User:Jd page was considered to be self-serving spam and not contributing to the encyclopedia. I don't agree about the self-serving spam bit. It's just a user page, after all. I certainly do use the encyclopedia, sometimes logged in as User:Jd, sometimes not logged in at all such as from work resources.

I don't really get the need to block an actual user for not contributing enough though. There have been no issues with the direction of content, abusive writing, copyright violations, etc. It's hardly 'being used to promote websites.' Alas, I can see this is a battle not worth getting into with folks on a mission to clean up the system or something helpful like that. Too bad this incredibly small page, one of the earliest user pages on the system, doesn't rate.

I was literally filling out my tax deductible contribution form on the site when I logged in and found that I'm blocked. Oh well, seemed like it was a good cause.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jd. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jd~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:49, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
